Le parc des Pères

The Conseil Général (the equivalent of the county council) purchased a section of the grounds of the château which currently belongs to the religious Order of the Fathers of the Holy Spirit. The château, standing on the site of the 15th-century Manoir du Plessis-Gueriff, was restored in 1818 and it was then that a gardener working for the Duc de Berry designed the farmland. The 21 hectares purchased by the département have been laid out to enable the general public to savour the quiet charms of the grounds and enjoy the special atmosphere that is a characteristic feature of the parkland surrounding great houses.
